 Course Feedback:

 

“This is a first course which I had pleasure to attend so I didn’t know what to expect but I found this very useful. It refreshed all my dermatology knowledge and helped to organize. All the real cases are very useful to classify dermatology conditions and gave good idea how to approach and manage the problem”

 

“Additional info from video and notes most useful, combining to give a very practical, logical approach to investigation. It will definitely help in how I educate/explain to client why thorough work up is needed, hopefully resulting in better compliance/management of what are often very difficult cases”

 

“Clear, methodical and practical. It will help to provide more structured work up for dermatology cases”
